Description

KOSTAS BEZOS AND THE WHITE BIRDS


The first-ever compilation of ???????? ("havagies"), the nearly forgotten Hawaiian-influenced music of 1930s Greece, focused on the compositions of Kostas Bezos and his ensemble White Birds. A world-class slide guitarist, political cartoonist and sleepless Bohemian, Kostas Bezos created some of the most unique music of any era: surrealist guitar portraits blending Athens and Honolulu, haunting tropical serenades, wild acoustic orchestras, and heartbreaking steel guitar duets. Incredibly, this is the same musician responsible for the legendary "Kostis" rebetika recordings (see A. Kostis "The Jail's a Fine School" [OLV-002 / MRP-098]). Here, we present an entirely other side of his musical genius, absurd humor, and multi-dimensional legacy, and a rare document of a brief yet fruitful musical movement.

LP version includes a 32-page booklet with extensive notes by Tony Klein and Dimitris Kourtis, many rare photographs, lyrics, obituaries and a bonus CD containing 18 additional tracks. Restored and mastered from original 78s by Michael Graves, this release is limited to 1,000 copies

THIS REISSUE CONTAINS A 14 TRACK LP PLUS 18 TRACK BONUS CD , AND THE SUPERB BOOKLET . PLUS BUYERS WILL RECEIVE A LINK AND CODE FOR A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OF THE ENTIRE LP AND CD.
